Saturday Night

Well, what can I say, being called "Madam" and "Honoured Guest" amongst other things, like "spare Alison" and "Escort" "Consort" " bit on the side" - it was all meant as a bit of fun and I certainly joined in with the laughter and fun of the evening. Where was I? I hear you ask, well I was the guest of the President of the West Ashfield Rotary Club, namely Mike Redshaw attending his Charter evening at The Derbyshire Hotel.

It was a great chance to get dressed up and go out for a lovely evening, of good food, friendship and wine of course! I freely admit to really enjoying myself and was very warmly welcomed by everyone present, including some people I did know, but it felt like a group of friends and didn't feel like an outsider at all and that is thanks to the wonderful people who are part of the Rotary Club. Helping others is something at the very heart of my own passion and to hear of the work being carried out by the club was wonderful to hear.

So my thanks go to everyone involved and attending that made my evening so enjoyable, and special thanks also to my "partner" for the evening, Mike - who scrubs up very well in his bow tie and dinner suit - not a croc in sight - whooppeee!
